'Flawless'

Peach, expresso,
Honey and porcelain.

Beige, ivory,
Sand and almond.

Flow, motion,
Stride and strength.

Vibrations, curves,
Smooth and coarse.

Wrinkles, freckles,
Scars and ink.

Callus, stretched,
Burned and untouched

Patched, worn,
Warm and cold.

Colored, radiant,
Covered and bare.

Black, white,
Old and young.

Cannot pick the Vessel
Cannot pick our skin
But all are Flawless
From start to end.'

"...I am the cosmic goddess
left behind on barren earth.
I worship the dirt
you worship less
praying for good fortune
while your maker brings death..."

Patient is the spider
Quick and sure
Webs made of glue
Fear equates allure

Small wonder, bold
Precise and elegance
Yarn made of thorns
Horror leads to a trance

I am the spider
Watch me crawl
Shoes, spray, paper swats
Death
my destiny from
the hands of you all

-ER
To the little spider living in my zinnias

Oooo ๐Ÿ–ค these are not the final titles and they are in no particular order...but it will be soon and just like with the last two books - once I break out the push pins and cork board that means the collection is becoming tangible and the finish line is actually within reach!!!!!

"The beetle left footprints
One with human sized eyes could not see.
Blooms the trees we cut down
Such
Atrocities

The beetle carcass
The locust shell
The crumple wings of moths
Legs of a grasshopper
And decayed Sun dried worms

Built the dirt
We take for granted

Cricket Cries
Thorax of Ants
Cemented our footpath

And all we can do is spit upon the ground in thanks...."
